I saw a stranger Sitting in shirtsleeves Outside the old house, the old house I didn't know him Nor him me Passing the old house, the old house He should be careful When he locks up at night The door of the old house, the old house For my father's ghost, my mother's ghost Left me the keys to the old house They say break in, scare them away These folks that live in the old house Who is that stranger house Sitting in chains Outside the old house, the old house I don't know him Nor him me Haunting the old house, the old house For my father's ghost, my mother's ghost Left me the keys to the old house
